Hello, I just tried to rpm -e my MySQL 3.x rpms in preparation for MySQL 4 when I ran into a bit of trouble. After trying to # rpm -e mysqlclient9-3.23.22-6 I ended up having to kill -9 the process after 15 minutes since it seemed to stop responding. Now every time I try any rpm query/update/delete, the process goes into sleep mode and has to be terminated with a kill -9. The output of ps does not show any "rpm" commands running, and lsof shows the following rpm-related files in use when rpm isn't stuck in sleep mode: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rpm404module.so /usr/lib/librpm-4.0.4.so /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.0.4.so /usr/lib/librpmio-4.0.4.so Any ides how I can get rpm responding once more? I'd like to avoid a reboot, if at all possible. -- Best regards, Brian Curtis -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
